XVILLIAM B. POPE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

ADJUSTABLE H OLDERFOR SCARFS FOR NECK-WEAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 335,717, dated February 9, 1886.

Application filed May 16, 1885.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM B. Porn, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Adjustable Holders for Scarfs for Neck-Wear, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a novel mode of construction and arrangement of an adjustable holder to be secured to the back of a scarf for neck-wear.

The invention consists in a holder provided with a bar fitted for attachment to a collarbutton, and held in the face of the holder, and in a cam or equivalent device for holding the said plate and bar adjustably together, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of one construction and arrangement of the holder detached from the scarf; Fig. 2, a modification of construction of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a modified construction of the holder and its various parts; Figs. 4 and 5, cross and vertical sections, respectively, through the lines a: w and z z of Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is another modification of my invention.

A is the plate or holder, preferably of metal, upon which plate the scarf is to be secured. The plate A is provided with a slit, 0, at both its upper and lower edges, through which slit a bar, B, passes, that is provided with a loop,

" l), at its upper end, for attachment to a collarbutton, and which rests upon the plate A. A circular plate, F, of a greater diameter than a slot, 0, in the bar B, is provided, having a handle, F, and secured to one face thereof is a pawl-tooth, h, to engage in notches 9, formed upon the bar B, to hold the plate in any desired position thereon. In this construction the handle F, with its pawl-tooth h, is pivoted to the plate A, and by disengaging the pawltooth h the plate is moved up or down upon the bar B to any desired point, and secured thereon by again engaging the pawl-tooth in the notches on the bar, as shown. By adj usting the plate A on the bar B the scarf is adjusted higher or lower.

In Fig. 2 the slot 0 is in the plate A, instead of being in the bar B, and is also provided Serial No. 165,756. (No model.)

with notches g on the edge thereof, in which construction the pawl-tooth h and plate F are pivoted to the bar B instead of to the plate A, as in Fig. 1.

In Fig. 3 the plate A is slotted longitudinally at O, and is provided with a transverse slit, 0, near its upper edge, also with the bar B, having loop D at its upper end, for attachment to the collar-button, as in Fig. 1. In this modification of construction the bar B passes through the slit 0 and rests upon the face of the plate A. The circular plate F, with its handle F, is provided with an oval cam, E, the longest diameter of which cam is trans versely of the longitudinal axis of the handle F, is pivoted to the bar B in such manner that the cam E is in the slot 0 of the plate A, and this plate'F is on the opposite side of the plate A from the bar B, whereby the bar B is held to the plate A when the handle F is swung to be transversely of the plate A. The plate is free to move up and downon the bar B, and when the handle is swung to be in line with the slot 0 the plate is held to the bar.

In Fig. 6 the bar B passes through a slit, 0, near the center of the holder A, and above this slit 0, to the face of the holder, is secured, at its lower end, a spring-strip, I, to receive over its upper end, between it and the face of the holder A, a ring, J, or any other ornament adapted to be passed over the end of the spring, as shown.

The scarf is secured to the plate or holder A, and the holder is attached to the collarbutton by the loop D of the bar B.

By means of the pawl-tooth h the holder and its attached scarf can be adjusted higher or lower on the bar B, as may be desired.

The holder may be provided with apertures f, by means of which it may be stitched or se cured to the scarf. Any other suitable means for attaching the holder to the scarf may be employed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1.. In combination with a holder, A, and bar B, adapted to be attached to and detached from a collar button, substantially as de scribed, the revolving locking-plate F, with a suitable device secured thereto, for adj ustably connecting and disconnecting the holder A and bar B, constructed and operating as set forth.

2. In combination with a slotted bar, B, having notches on the slotted edge thereof, and adapted to be attached to and detached from a collar-button, substantially as described, the revolving locking-plate F and handle F, pivoted to the holder A, and a pawl-tooth, h, secured to the revolving locking-plate F, to engage and disengage with the notches g in the slotted edge of the bar B by the swinging movement of the handle F of the plate F, as set forth.

3. In a necktie, a holder constructed and operating substantially as described, consisting of a slotted plate, A, having notches g in its slotted edge, a sliding bar, B, with the bnttonloop D, adapted to be attached to and detached from a collar-button, in combination with a revolving locking-plate, F, handle F, and pawl-tooth h, secured to the revolving locking-plate F, the bar B placed on one side of the plate Aand the revolving locking-plate F placed on the opposite side, with the pawl h between them in the slot 0, to be engaged and disengaged with the notches g by the movement of the swinging handle F, to adjust the scarf, as set forth.

4. In combination with the plate Aand bar B, having a loop, D, to be attached to and detached from a collar-button, the spring I and ornament J, substantially as herein described.

WILLIAM B. POPE.
